New poll shows the more education you have, the more you hate the Comcast-TWC merger

Does being more educated actually give you more common sense? A new Reuters poll finds that while Americans as a whole dislike the idea of a merger between Comcast and Time Warner Cable, people who have more education dislike the merger even more than people who are less educated.

In all, Reuters found that 62% of people with at least college degrees thought the merger was a bad idea, versus 57% of people with some college experience and 42% of people who had no college experience. In terms of the entire population, Reuters found that 52% of all Americans thought the Comcast-TWC merger would be bad for consumers while a measly 22% said that it would be good for consumers.

It isn’t at all surprising that most Americans take a dim view of the Comcast-TWC merger, as at least fivedifferentcustomersatisfactionsurveys released over the last year have shown that both companies enjoy truly horrendous customer satisfaction ratings.
